2 <br /> Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting Minutes <br /> • July 25, 2000 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 1 A possible condemnation of Herbergers Department Store was discussed, although Mr. Scott <br /> 2 Tankenoff noted for the record that Hillcrest Development would rather negotiate with <br /> 3 Herbergers and reach a resolution to.the lease issue. Hillcrest Development; Mr. Tankenoff <br /> 4 specifically noted, would like to work with Herbergers. In other words, if the Council does not <br /> 5 approve the condemnation procedures,then the proposed redevelopment would not be able to <br /> 6 continue. <br /> 7 Mr. Tankenoff noted that condemnation is a legal proceeding and is not the preferred choice of <br /> 8 action by Hillcrest Development. He further stated that Hillcrest has incentive under the TIF <br /> 9 plan to complete the project as quickly and efficiently as possible. However, Hillcrest needs to <br /> 10 move forward on the project and would not be willing to wait for Herbergers to make a lease <br /> 11 decision. <br /> 12 After inviting additional input from the audience and hearing none, Mayor Cavanaugh closed the <br /> 13 public hearing at 9:40 p.m. <br /> 14 Motion by Hodson to table the granting of business subsidy to Hillcrest Development for the <br /> 15 redevelopment of Apache Plaza and surrounding parcels until August 22, 2000. <br /> 16 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 07 B.
